In consideration of accepting this entry for the Viking 5K (the “Event”), I agree to and acknowledge the following:

I acknowledge all such risks are known and understood by me. I certify as a material condition to my being permitted to enter this race that I am physically fit and sufficiently trained for the completion of this Event and that a licensed medical doctor has verified my physical condition.
If illness, injury or medical emergency arises during the Event, I hereby authorize and give my consent to the Event Director to secure from any accredited hospital, clinic and/or physician any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care. I agree that I will be fully responsible for payment of any and all medical services and treatment rendered to me including, but not limited to, emergency assistance, medical transport, medications, treatment, and hospitalization.
I hereby release, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Teays Valley Local School District Board of Education, including but not limited to its members, officers, employees, agents, sponsors, and agents from any and all liability, arising from negligence or otherwise, and any damages as a result of my participation in the Event.
